About This Item
New York: The Free Press, 1996. Second Edition First Printing . Hard Back. Near Fine/Very Good. 6" x 9 1/2. 534 Pages Indexed. Owner's name on front endpaper. No other marks or stamps. Flawless interior.An excellent reference on mental and emotional disorders, interventions and therapies, medications and their biochemical effects, effects over the full course of the therapy, drug names and classifications, diagnosis and case study examples, drug histories, side effects, and special considerations. The last 25 years have witnessed an explosion of knowledge about the influence of brain biochemistry on mood and behaviour and about pharmacological approaches to treating mental and emotional disorders. A substantial portion of patients seen in clinical practice are taking some medication or might usefully be advised to do so. But many clinical psychologists, social workers, and counselors need additonal information in order to better treat patients already on medication, know when and to whom to refer new patients for psychiatric consultation, and work collaboratively with psychiatrists when appropriate. This new second edition reflects major changes that influenced the clinical arena in the last five years such as the recent release of DSM-IV and the domination of psychopharmacological field by the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, such as Prozac. Now includes coverage of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and contains updated sections on the new antipsychotics for schizophrenia and the increased use of anticonvulsant mood stablizers for bipolar disorder. An essential reference for all nonmedical professionals involved in treating mental and emotional disorders.
